Hiking Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

July 23, 2019

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Oh, Montana! We had no idea what we were getting into when we planned this trip in the summer of 2018. Although we did our research, and creeped the Instagram location tags, we were not prepared for what we were going to see. Glacier National Park – we thought it would be like Banff. We ignorantly packed some cute outfits for nice dinners out, and didn’t prepare our families for being completely out of service the whole weekend. Glacier National Park is NOT Banff, so be prepared.

That being said, we had the weekend of a lifetime. In Glacier National Park, you have three options (and only from June to August most years) – you can rent out a camp site, you can stay in cabins where you have a bed with no bathroom (take note), or you can stay at a hotel (which is most definitely haunted). You will not have service, and will only have access to very sketchy wi-fi that works almost never, so let your family know where you are. There are limited restaurants, so pack snacks. And don’t even bother packing a dress…who knew?

We planned on hiking Iceberg Lake Trail Head, but found out upon arrival that it was closed due to nearly 10 Grizzly Bear encounters. So, change of plans, we decided to take on Grinnell Glacier Trail. Sometimes things not going as planned bring the best memories!

Grinnell Glacier Trail is absolutely gorgeous and of moderate-level. Although it will take you 6-7 hours (15.6km out and back), it is not crazy challenging in terms of intense incline or rough areas. The view is beautiful the entire way. We did encounter two grizzly bears – August is when all the berries are out, and therefore, all the bears are out. If you go earlier in the season, there is a chance that you won’t be able to make it all the way to the Glacier, because the snow and ice will still be heavy on the mountain. So, weigh your options, my friends.

Montana, thanks for the memories!

3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemi 3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemic:

1. Protecting my postpartum space. [Have you heard of the “lying-in” period? Yup...I’ll be purposely quarantining with future babies. If you want to bring us food...”Thank you so, so much! You can leave it at the door, and we will see you in two weeks.🤍”]

2. Going more intimate on holidays and with celebrations. [Y’all know I love to throw a party, but having more intimidate holidays and birthdays has actually been really nice. Feel free to call me out when I can actually throw a party again though, and I invite all of Calgary...]

3. Welcoming my kid(s) into my work space. [This has been something that has made me so happy, been really beneficial for little C to be a part of, and has allowed me to “skip” my maternity leave.]

I know people have been missing their parenting village, but have you found any parenting wins from this wild experience?

I was saying to J yesterday that when I was in Edmonton and working wild hours back and forth between YYC and YEG, I was never able to enjoy a spontaneous adventure with him when he got a surprise day off...even though we are still both working lots and often passing our sweet C back and forth, I beyond appreciate these moments we can sneak in!
